Kyiv-New York, 28 September 2015<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0– Activists, parliamentarians and diplomats unfurled a battle-scarred Ukrainian national flag during the speech of Russian\u00a0president Vladimir Putin at the UN General Assembly as a silent protest. The flag\u00a0belonged to a Ukrainian military unit who were killed by Russian troops in August 2014 outside the city of Ilovaisk during Russia\u2019s invasion of eastern Ukraine. The silent flag protest was in response to Russia\u2019s aggression in eastern Ukraine, which has claimed thousands of lives. The official Ukrainian delegation left the assembly hall of the General Assembly in response to the Russian president\u2019s speech.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian flag survives Russian attacks in August 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Ukrainian soldier received this flag as\u00a0a gift from his friend before departing to war. In August 2014, the\u00a0Ukrainian\u00a0Army was liberating towns and villages in eastern Ukraine, scoring a\u00a0number of\u00a0decisive victories against Russia-backed militants. Just when it seemed\u00a0that the days of Russian proxies were numbered and their leaders would be\u00a0brought to justice for their crimes, the Kremlin resolved to deploy active\u00a0Russian servicemen for an open invasion of eastern Ukraine.<\/p>\n

On Ukraine\u2019s Independence Day, August 24, Russian\u00a0troops crossed the border. Heavy fighting broke out in the vicinity of\u00a0Luhansk. The threat of complete encirclement of Mariupol was looming. Ukrainian\u00a0soldiers\u00a0were surrounded near Ilovaisk where this flag was being flown by an\u00a0anti-aircraft military regiment.<\/p>\n

On August 29, 2014, the Ukrainian and Russian militaries agreed\u00a0on setting up a \u201cgreen corridor\u201d enabling Ukrainian forces to retreat.\u00a0However,\u00a0Russian generals cynically violated the deal \u2013they launched deadly attacks\u00a0utilizing a wide array of weapons against the Ukrainians at close range\u00a0demonstrating that they view this war as not being fought with any regard\u00a0for\u00a0international law or human decency. The truck on which the flag was\u00a0hoisted was\u00a0blown to pieces by enemy bullets and artillery, killing the Ukrainian\u00a0servicemen\u00a0within. The flag was found by Ukrainian volunteers of the Chornyi\u00a0Tulpan [Black Tulip] group a month after what stands as one of\u00a0Russia\u2019s most cynical attacks in its on-going undeclared war in eastern\u00a0Ukraine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
